The prophets in the Old Testament gave us hope that God would send his only Son to save us, and that got me wondering, what would a prophet in todays day look like? Would we notice them?
The Jewish prophets were talking about and waiting for their Messiah..they rejected Yeshua as being inferior
We already, all over the earth, have had the opportunity to hear the Good News. I would think a modern day Prophet would have a calm and glowing demeanor, because their knowledge of the good news has filled them up. I do not think they would be raging at the pulpit. The world has had over 2,000 years to get its shit together, I would think the Prophet's only work is to give strength to the faithful, and to attract more sinners to come to the Lord, not to any one particular church. Some do believe that there has been no need for a Prophet since John the Baptist, which is why the Book of Revelations was debated among scholars. I see Isaiah and John the Baptist as the greatest profits, but there were many great prophets besides them, but both of the two foretold of the Messiah. They told the us what to do, and who it is to follow. Revelations tells us how this will happen, with a very heavy dose of metaphors for the people in which the time it was written. There are many warnings of false prophecy, and I take them pretty seriously, so, for me, I will stick with old prophets of God, and give wide berth for any new ones.. Christ is smarter than the Devil, but I may not be, and could make an error that would sell my soul for eternity.
John the Apostle who wrote Revelation was about ten years younger and lived much longer than John the Baptist who was beheaded around age 30 by Herod
There are prophets today. It wasn’t just a thing for the past, but for today as well.
Very well said. Thank you so much for sharing that. My women’s Bible study group is studying the book of revelation right now. Some people may see it as doom and gloom, but it’s really not. There are so many messages of Hope, and promises for believers in Christ. I’m excited and grateful to be heading into tVagi’s season.
